Now aged 19, Hollie has returned to the same hospital – this time as an employee – hoping to care for other precious newborns and their mums.

“I’ve wanted to be a nurse or midwife since primary school. I had surgeries as a kid and always looked up to the nurses who looked after me. My mum also worked here as a registered nurse and midwife and that inspired me as well,” she said.

Hollie is one of dozens of nurses who started their careers at JHC in 2026, through Ramsay Health Care's (RHC) Graduate Pathways Program.

“While studying I had two placements at JHC in General Medicine and Palliative Care. I had such a good experience that I applied as a Graduate Enrolled Nurse and thankfully was offered a position, this time in Obstetrics and Gynaecology.”

What makes the career move even more special, is that two nurses and a paediatrician who treated Hollie in her first weeks of life still work at the hospital.

“It’s so nice that we’re starting to see our old patients come through and be passionate in their medical careers in the same way we are,” said Staff Development Nurse Ann Cameron.

“Our babies and their families are lucky to be supported by a team of professionals with decades of experience, who are now training the next generation of health care workers.”

The Graduate Pathways Program has been instrumental in helping thousands of graduates and interns get their start at JHC.

RHC offers a comprehensive suite of programs through its Nursing and Midwifery Academy, from student placements to advanced mentorship for leaders, fostering a strong pipeline of skilled health care professionals.

“I’m excited to continue building my confidence and developing my skills as a nurse at JHC. I enjoy helping people and hope to further my nursing studies in the future,” Hollie said.
